Courses & Units

Business Finance ZAA133

Introduction

This unit will provide you with a practical understanding of operational budgeting and financial decision making, as well as other financial concepts, practices and tools used to measure and assess the financial performance of an organisation. The use of practical case studies, tasks and simulations will develop your financial skills and knowledge in order to apply them to any operational setting.

In conjunction with the discipline theory, this unit introduces learning through practice by exposing you to authentic learning experiences. These experiences are placed at the centre of learning and assessment, so you have the opportunity to develop the skills, knowledge and behaviours necessary to respond to industry, community and/or global needs.

You will be introduced to:

• a range of methods, tools, techniques and approaches to practice
• principles and perspectives such as values, ethics, empathy and leadership in real world scenarios
• reflection and deliberative thinking as a means of developing knowledge, skills, attitudes and aspirations
• ways of understanding problems and developing solutions through active inquiry.
